LETTERS TO THE EDITOR In Faver of Prohibition. Mr. Bditor: The outcry against the ecightéenth amendment that prohibits the sale of liquer is eertainly déafen- ing to a large number of readtrs of The Bulletin most amazing. [ helieve that more patrons and readers of your paper favor decency, sobriety, law and order than those who stand for rowdy- lawlessness, wickedness and be it known to every read- er of these lines that the Writer has lived and labored in some of the larg- est and smallest cities in the world with his eves and ears open so that he saw and heard things at first hand and T observed that where the lignot traffic was less restricted poverty. wickedness, sickness, insanity and premature death is 98 per cent. due to lquor, whereas in localities where the making, sale or use of aleeh6l is entirely prohibited these evils - are scarcely noticeable. Governrors Edwards of New Jersey and Smith of New York and others who . clamor for personal liberty and state rights are no doubt gentlemen who do not drink to excess, but are agerieved bécause their selfish habits are being interfered with and would rather indulge a little, thus continu- ing the business which has blighted, cursed and damned countless numbers of men, women and children. It seems {0 me ‘that whosoever does anything for or says anything in favor of con- tinuing the making. sale or use of liquor must ecither be ignerant of its evil affect or extremely selfish. I am a user of tea and coffee,. not tobacco, but if the use of these commodities would result in evil for myself or my fellowman 1 would abstain from them 'or the rémaining days of my life. Personally I have not suffered much from the liquor business as I have not used it, but my hands have handled meén who become addicted to its use, some of them were in jail becauge they in their drunkenness had broken the law of the land, others I found in the hospital because they, through drink, had vielated the law of nature and others were followed to an un- timelv gave. In the city of London I heard a man say that he had been a ictim of strong drink and that in his drunken stpor he contemplated taking the life of his wife and three chil- dren. He chose a razor wherewith to do the dastardly deed and he loafed around in the saloon till about mid- night when he thought his family would be fast asiéep ana it would then be easy for him t6 earry out his evil intentions but on his way home he passed a church where BEvangelists Moody and Sankey were conducting revival services and at this would-he drunken murdeger had some time on hand before midnight he went into the. religious meeting and his whole life was changed that night and in. stead of killing his family he em- braced and loved them as a husband and father. 1 could relate many such instances did time and duty allow. One man who used to have occasional drunks said to me: “I hope thev'll mever sell that stuff again,” because-he felt much better without booze than he di with it. . r. Editor, 1 believe I veice the sentiment of thWsands of Bullefin readers and millions upon millions of sober, law abiding fitizens when I say let the prohibition law go into full effect and rid our fair land if pos- sible the whole world of thig horri- ble liquer business. REV. F. W. Preston, March 16, 1920. THOLEN. Prayer and Politics. Mr. Editer: When I ventured to eritieize Mr. Barnes' -Emmet ora- tion T had no thought that it weuld in- volve me in a theological _discussion through the interjection of a third party. Even now, seeing that no light has been thrown by him eon the original question, it would seem better if Mr. Ba‘;nes had been left to defend him- self. Obgerver taxes me with insinuating that he had eut out praver from his politice and then -ineonsistently signs himself as one who does not vote as he prays—whigh surely econfirms my Buess. My Latin.quetatien was not “far- fetched”—any ome who could recog- nize it as Latin would know what it nieant; but Observer's vague allusion to Fifteenth .CS:tury acts, without naming whether he had in mind the Spanish Inquisition or- the Sandwich Islanders, is much farther from the mark than my Latin. It Observer, as he says, does not vote a8 he prays then the tonclusion i8 forced upon us that he sither prays Xong or vetes wrong. One or the other must be his case, A Norwich, March 17, 1928, / * A Serious Prepesition, _ Mr. Bditor: A matter which shouid be viewed with much eoncern in Nor- wich is the notice in The Bullstin of the application to the superior court to be heard in New London, Friday, March 19, at 10 a. m., authorizing Re- ceiver R. W. Perkins to discontinue the Norwich and Westerly division of the Shora Line Electric Railw: Un- der covef the notice reads from Hall- ville to Paweatuck, but it really means the whole line. Many who are in the habit of using the Norwich and Westerly trolléys are | surprised at the claim that the line does not pay.. The cars _leaving Franklin square have seemed to be always full and at times Sunday and holidars many have heen compelled to stand clear to Westerly, and it would seem folly to discontinue this line at the beginning of the summer season, at which time this line certainly pays a good profit. This proposition is a matter that our chamber of commerce should be inter- ested in and investigate—for it is a serious matter that one of our eitv's arteries is to be cut off. It affects the stores, our people's convenience and business in zeneral, cutting off the towns to Westerly and the beachss, where many Norwich people. ate in- terested. This seems to he the age, of difficul- culties and it is hoped that there can be a solution to this one. INTERESTED. Norwich, March 17, 1920. The Question of\Orchesttas, Mr. Editor: Replving to “Theatrieal” in teday’s issue. No one would expect a show to bg put on in Norwi¢h as it is in New York, neither would one expect to pay the price that one would in New York. The “small percentage” a lncal man- ager gets as his share is still &maller if the show carries its own orchess tra, as the read expenses, hotel, rail- road fares, etc., are ofterf mofe than double. the amount paid for salary of players, thus taking just that amount from the local manager's share. “The- | atrieal” says “The score of a musical comedy has to be rehearsed for weekd.” Very true, but this ddes not [apply to the orchestra, for as a.rule the orchestra is not called until the dress rehearsal and after the show is letter perfect—having one and sometimes two previous rehearsals alone. However, the fact of the mat- ter is as “Theatrical” states and he | hits the nail on the head—the man- ager is not in the pusiness for love or ! pléasure—but he is\not like other bus- iness men who give vour money back if the goods are not satisfactory and have to give vaiue or lose buéiness. He, on the other hand, only gives fust what he can get by on—as lit- tle as possible. The orchestra, as a pleasure to him or his patrons, means nothing to him byt expense, He would, probably, rather show a prize fight than an opera to save the cest of the orchestra. The writer recalls shows in the past. in:Norwich, which called upsh loeal musicians up to sixteen men. The standard was eight as a minimum, and 50' often was the orchestra augmented from two to six pleces that there were many. good musicians to_draw from. Take “1492, “Johnny Jones” “Wilbur Opera Co.” and many oth- ers having 12 to 16 men, all local ex- cept the conductor and very satisfac- tory. Many productions started from this town and gave their premier here on aceount of the good orchestra obtainable. the world is a nucleus for musie. Tt is or should be the place where the best in music is found—a builder up of musical taste and education. In a small way. this used to be the case in Norwich. At one time a fina orchestra was formed—perhaps thirty-five peo- ple. The nucleus being members of the Opera House orchestra. What do we find today? The lack of support and incentive given by the local opera house management to the musicians, and this attitude towafs music has tended to drive good musicians to oth- er towns. The result is we have few musiclans. We don’t even have a double bass in the theatre. I have heard of company condubtors eriticiz- ing the management on account’ of not having men to play the score—one conductog in the hotel lobby was heard to remark, “This is a town that eould not even support a double bass fiddle.” ‘We had them once, but when the or- chestra was cut down the men stop- Dr. Howard always recommended a loving nature| commander-in-chief ~of the, had lost every ham declared never had its | thougn it was the capitol and take An opera house all over | Colds, Br.-Asthma R iee & Osgood can gupply you.

Nortrich, March 16, 1520, —i A Special Emergency. marcel turned |. Mr. Editor: buvamor Holcomb says the stite constitution requires that a “speciai eméfgency” be at hand in order to summeon the legislature into special session. ~ He does not consid- r that such a sitwation is created by “the desire of a number of individu- als to have the general assembly vote upen the federal suffrage amendment.” The net republic feele that a “spécial emetgency” is at hand, and says in substance: i “The suffragists of America have brought to a point of completion this colossal task of federalsamendment. Thirty-four states have ratified, but for all this amazing advance, the issue has Beén narrowed down t3 a hand- ful f states controlled by the repub- licans, and thére they are meetifz the last éunce of resistance that can b ade against ratification. “The republican governor of Ver- mont refuses to call a special session. In Connecticut the pressuré on Gov- érnor Holcomb has heen steady and persistent, but Governor Holeomb shows a reckléss determination to be interned in the last diteh. Republican Deélaware remains with doubt as to its intentions. 'he republiean party has commit- ted itself to suffrage, has promised to ratify, has made its appeal to the wo- man électors. Can the republicans afford to permit their state executives to impede the cause of ratification? Is the withholding of ratifiction to be a renublican destruction.” “Will the republicans who count say the word to Connecticut? There are ways of educating state governors evén the most stubborn. The 25,000 000 women who are eligible for the vote should not be impeded.” F. T. COIT. Norwich, March 16, 1920.
